So proud to meet Sunflower Scotland at SNP conference yesterday. The helmet was punctured by shrapnel. They send missions to Ukraine from Scotland to help medics save lives and rehabilitate war victims and have sent 121 missions so far.

Cannot ban them but might regulate through planning and fire safety regulations where they can be sold.

It took me several days plus the chain saw to get rid of the monster I had which had grown to over 4 foot tall. Commiserations. Incredible how tough the root ball is.

The root ball can become massive. I needed a chain saw to get through mine. Best to get rid of while it’s manageable if it’s in the wrong place. Spores are also said to be carcinogenic.

Well you’re putting your faith in the pollsters getting their predictions right about who’s likely to win the constituency seat. Many upsets are possible. New boundaries, a volatile electorate, including ‘no shows’. Plus Reform, Your Party, Liberate Scotland, and tactical voting by unionists.

We have one.

That will never happen. Your former friends and allies will never trust you again because it’s not just Trump but the system and society that elevated him. Where were the checks and balances? Why was he allowed to do all that damage to us?

Eco justice is also the same as justice for human beings. Because the only true wealth is life and billionaires need to understand this.

Morgan McSweeney’s cynical view of the British working class Labour voter as gammon has been turned on its head by Hannah Spencer’s victory in Manchester. People just needed to see a genuine working class person calling out the billionaires who twist our politics and oppress ordinary people.

Wonderful news to wake up to that the Greens have won the Gorton by-election by standing up for what ordinary people want - tax billionaires, condemn Gaza genocide, and controlled emigration is a social good we all benefit from. Reform and Labour soundly rejected.

Your Party revealed to be another unionist stalking horse. Scotland gets 1 member on 24 member executive while 9 English regions get 2 each. There you have it. A while nation but we’re only worth 1/2 an English region. Suck it up suckers.

Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Earliest coin minted in Scotland saved for the nation after 900 years The medieval David I silver coin, discovered in a wooded area in Midlothian, has been dated to the second half of the 1130s.

I wondered where I had dropped it.

It was signed by the barons of Scotland, not ‘the people’. The barons attached their seals. The same barons who died at Flodden.
